Paul of Psquare unites with ex-wife Anita Okoye to celebrate son’s birthday
Popular Nigerian singer, Paul Okoye of Psquare and his ex-wife, Anita Okoye came together to celebrate their first son, Andre Okoye’s birthday as he turns 11.
On Thursday, April 11, 2024, Andre Okoye, son of the popular musical duo (Paul Okoye of Psquare) celebrated his 11th birthday.
In a viral video, the singer, Paul Okoye, and his ex-wife, Anita were spotted together with their three children as they sang a birthday song for Andre.
This simple act of unity caused a buzz on social media following their divorce.
This fuelled praises from their followers who commended the act on social media as peaceful co-parenting.
Recall that, in August 2021, Anita filed a petition to end their seven-year-old marriage. The petition cited irreconcilable differences as the basis of the break of the marriage.
On December 20, 2022, an Abuja High Court in the Federal Capital Territory, Maitama, finalized the couple’s divorce proceedings.
Anita claimed that cheating, separation, being an absent father, fraud, and difficult experiences were her major reasons for seeking a divorce.
She also requested a monthly settlement of $20,000 and a number of her husband’s mansions.
The recent video of Paul and his ex-wife aroused the attention of many Nigerians as they dropped insightful comments.

Ogun Court halts event in memory of Mohbad
By Mario Deepromoter
A High Court in Ogun State has imposed an interim injunction prohibiting a planned event in memory of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad.
The legal team of the deceased family disclosed this in a statement signed by its representative, Monisola Odumosu, and exclusively obtained by PUNCH Metro, on Sunday.
Odumosu noted that the court’s decision, handed down by Justice O. Osunfisan, on Thursday, was in response to a motion filed by the late Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, represented by Emmanuel Oroko.
According to the statement, the injunction specifically targeted plans to host the ‘Sing for Mohbad and Win’ event, scheduled for September 12-14, 2024 in the state or any other location.
“In the motion with suit number HCT/871/2024 Justice Osunfisan ordered as follows ‘ An order of interim injunction is hereby granted restraining the respondent whether by himself servants, agents,assigns or otherwise however called from holding any event titled ‘Sing for Mohbad and Win’ organised by the respondent which is set to be held on September 12, 13, and 14, 2024, at the Aqua Lounge or any other place pending the determination of the originating motion for interlocutory injunction dated and filed on September 6, 2024. The order of interim injunction hereby granted today, the 12 day of September 2024, is to last for seven days following the provision of the Rules of Court,” the statement read in part.
The Aloba family, who initiated the legal action, had previously appealed to the public to respect their moment of grief and refrain from commercialising the occasion by exploiting the goodwill of their late son.
Odumosu however stated that the matter was set to return to court on October 7, 2024, for the hearing of the originating motion for interlocutory injunction.
PUNCH Metro reported before the late singer’s first anniversary that the family expressed concern that some individuals and organisations might be planning to use Mohbad’s memory fort commercial purposes.
The family’s proposed move appealed to them to seek approval before proceeding with such a plan.

I don’t have a manual for these things.

Draw strength from God, most especially keep your family matters private”.
